Then update the various fonts and stuff -- there's almost a one-to-one mapping of XFree ports onto X.Org ports, except for the x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable port, which I chose to replace by x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype, plus installed x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-type1 after doing that. The x11-servers/XFree86-4-NestServer port doesn't seem to have an X.Org equivalent. Keep x11-servers/xorg-servers till last but one. Finally, pkg_delete the x11/XFree86-4 meta-port, and install x11/xorg. I did have some trouble with compiling the graphics/dri port after the imake and X11 libraries updates. That's something that x11-servers/xorg-servers depends on under i386 arch. You can substitute graphics/dri-devel, which seems to work just fine. > > > the pkgdb -uF is important... it will go through and update > > > /var/db/pkg so that all ports recognize using the new xlibs and > > > don't try to reinstall xfree86... If you use portupgrade to substitute the X.Org port for the XFree86 ones as I describe above, you don't need to continually keep re-running pkgdb -F. However, you will need to run pkgdb every time you unpdate or install any X related port from now on. The good news is most X dependent ports will run just fine without a re-compile. The only one I had any trouble with was multimedia/mplayer, and that was fixed by reinstalling.
